Default 2006 LEXUS IS 250 with Eibach Springs, Pictures, New ideas for looks, CHEAP!


It might help to zoom out first before you look at the pictures. Spent less than 50 bucks did some small cosmetic changes I at least haven't seen. Thought I would throw some ideas out there.

Small Changes:
Black out rear reflectors
Black out inside of rear emblem
Black IS
Black Wheel Caps
SIlver chrome trunk attachment--> Message me if you like and want the link to it

I'm not a huge fan of chrome, but each his own

Black Tint on fogs, dont have a pic with them on but the color it makes is very close to
matching the running lights. The lights are still very visible but doesnt display near
as much light obviously. I plan on installing HIDs for fog/headlights to make up for the loss.

I think you made it uglier, but to each their own.

Fogs and rear reflectors are way too dark.

I have to agree, in the pictures they look like black holes in the bumpers. Other than that the other stuff looks pretty good/different. There are a handful of good cheap mods, but when you go overboard with them it shows- so be careful and mod slowly

I give you credit for trying something different with using only $50.00.
